This Victorian postbox certainly hasn't been in this position since it was manufactured! This is a 1980s housing estate, before which this area was just farmland.

Yeomans Road is one of the main routes to the vast 1980s Muscliff housing estate, and here it reaches a roundabout with the estate to the left. An industrial estate is to the right, behind the Castlepoint shopping centre. Meanwhile, Yeomans Road continues ahead as a gravel road, and a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - leading to Throop Road. See Image for the view along the gravel road from the other side of the roundabout, and links to further photos on the route.

Yeomans Road is one of the original tracks in the Throop area. Today, the southern segment is one of the main roads onto the modern housing estate, but its northern section is still a gravel road. The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view as it enters suburbia at its southern end. The opening onto the roundabout here is slightly at odds with the straight course of Yeomans Road on both sides of it - the distant lamppost far-left demonstrates the tarmac continuation of the road. The bus is heading round the roundabout to the Yeomans Way industrial estate, where the town's bus depot is situated.

The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view from the fringe of the modern development. To the right is the back of the Castlepoint shopping centre, with Yeomans Way leading to an industrial estate behind it. See Image for a wider view across the roundabout just to our right, and Image for the view towards us from along the gravel road - and links to further photos along the route.

The sun disappears behind a low cloud for the last time of the day, behind Boot’s the Chemists in Castlepoint shopping centre.

The gravel section forms a public right of way - a byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K21 - and this is the view north as it enters the properly rural parts and reaches the first of several properties on either side.

Looking along Mill Road (North), which forms byway open to all traffic (or B.O.A.T.) number K22, from its southern end. It is a historical route pre-dating the modern 1980s housing estate here, and it used to extend along Mill Road (South) behind us, before the latter segment was incorporated into the modern housing estate as part of the public highway. The route can still be eminently followed on its dead-straight course behind us, although the estate roads curve across the route.

While roads in the similar 80s housing estate to the west of Broadway Lane are named after Dorset villages, this estate's roads are named after west Hampshire villages – this is Landford Way and in the distance is the junction with Tytherley Green (named after West and East Tytherley).

The Hampshire Centre was opened in 1968 and was thus a very early example of an out-of-town shopping centre. This clock was installed towards the latter end of the centre's life. It was closed and demolished in the late 1990s and in its place was built Image
